Animal Detective

Chapter 80 Children
Shen Xin had spent a year at the police station, so she couldn't afford to be too nice to someone like Shi Yanhua.

“Shi Yanhua, you’re not stupid. You should know that if you want to get the money, there’s only one way: we catch the murderer.”

"If that's your attitude, then we have nothing more to say."

With that, Shen Xin called out to Ding Yuwei and turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Shi Yanhua did indeed call out to Shen Xin.

She gave a soft hum and sat down in the lounge area of ​​the lobby.

"Officer Shen, right? Don't give me any lectures. I'm just sticking to one thing: Liu Laibin is dead, and you police officers didn't catch the murderer. Aren't you responsible?"

"It's been four years, 234 million! Damn it, the interest rate in the bank has increased so much by now. Tell me the truth, do you think I'm asking you for more than a million?"

"Really, you don't need to ask me anything. I've already said what I needed to say. You might as well go back and have a good talk with your boss. Just give me a million, and I promise I'll never cause trouble there again."

"As for Liu Laibin, just consider him unlucky and deserved to die."

Shen Xin took out his recording equipment, placed it on the coffee table, and said, "I can go back and report your idea to the leadership, but I have some questions I'd like to ask you again."

Just as Shi Yanhua was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, answered impatiently, and immediately yelled, "Wang Genping, what do you want now? I'm at work, you motherfucker!"

"What? Tingting is missing?"

She froze for a moment.

Shen Xin immediately perked up his ears.

Tingting?

They're probably referring to Liu Laibin's daughter, Liu Yuting.

Shi Yanhua cursed, "Are you fucking dead? I can't even watch a child properly, and you're asking me what to do? Go find someone, you good-for-nothing."

She hung up the phone, cursing under her breath.

She cursed that no man was reliable and that they were all useless.

Seeing Shen Xin staring at him, he impatiently shouted, "What are you looking at me for? Just ask me whatever you want to say. I have to go to my shift later."

Suppressing his anger, Shen Xin asked, "What happened to your daughter? Is she lost?"

Ding Yuwei, standing next to her, also became nervous.

Shi Yanhua took out another cigarette and lit it, showing no intention of getting up to look for it. He cursed, "So what if she's gone? It would be best if she were dead. I'd be relieved, and she wouldn't have to suffer with me."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yuwei, who was standing next to him, could no longer hold back.

Shen Xin waved his hand to stop her and said in a deep voice, "Shi Yanhua, where are you living now?"

Shen Xin had seen far too many women like this when he worked at the police station.

They only care about themselves and money; children are just a burden.

Sensing the anger in Shen Xin's words, Shi Yanhua snorted and gave the address.

It's not far, about one kilometer away in Yangmuqiao New Village.

Shen Xin immediately took out his phone and called Dong Yueming.

"Team Leader Dong, there's something going on."

Shen Xin explained the situation and asked Dong Yueming to arrange for someone to check on it, just in case Liu Yuting got into trouble.

Dong Yueming didn't ask any further questions and said he would immediately send the patrolling police officers over.

Shi Yanhua, seemingly unconcerned, stood up and said, "If you're not going to ask, then I'll go to my shift. My client is waiting for me."

Shen Xin slammed his hand on the coffee table: "I'd like to see if you dare!"

As he spoke, Shen Xin looked at the front desk manager not far away.

If you're so capable, then arrange for her to work as a nurse!

Shi Yanhua's expression changed repeatedly before she sat back down in silence.

The front desk manager quickly brought over two bottles of water, then glared at Shi Yanhua, telling her to speak properly.

Shen Xin took a deep breath to calm himself down, thought for a moment, and asked, "Does Liu Laibin keep a parrot?"

Shen Xin believed that Qin Chuanwang had asked all the necessary questions countless times.

So we decided to try a different approach.

"Parrot?"

Shi Yanhua was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh and said, "That's right, that bastard had a parrot. I heard him say he spent tens of thousands of yuan on it. What happened to that parrot? Where did you guys put it?"

"I'm asking you."

Shen Xin said in a deep voice.

Shi Yanhua snorted coldly: "How would I know? You're really funny. Instead of asking about the murderer, you're asking a parrot."

Suppressing his anger, Shen Xin said, "So, after the incident, you didn't know where the parrot went?"

"Nonsense," Shi Yanhua said. "I should be asking you that. Liu Laibin cherishes that parrot like his own son. I'd like to ask you where you put it."

Shen Xin raised his hand to signal her to stop, and then asked Liu Laibin about the start-up capital.

"I've already said this before. When I met him, he was already rich. He often came to book my services. When I asked him, he said he made his money by reselling mobile phones in Jiaozhou Province. I don't care how he made it."

Shen Xin told her to think about it carefully, but Shi Yanhua still said the same thing: she didn't know.

It is said that Liu Laibin was very generous at the time and often invited her out.

Over time, they ended up getting mixed up together.

Just as Shen Xin was about to ask another question, his phone rang.

It was a call from my former colleague, Wei Yajun, who said the child had been found, but if possible, he wanted Shen Xin to come and see the child, saying the child had been beaten.

Shen Xin frowned and said, "The child has been found. Come with me to see him." "What's so interesting? Isn't it enough that we found him?" Shi Yanhua said impatiently.

Shen Xin suppressed his anger, stood up, and gestured for Shi Yanhua to come with him.

Shi Yanhua glanced at Shen Xin, then at the front desk manager, cursed a couple of times, and followed.

Not far away.

A few minutes later, Shen Xin drove to the location.

Yangmuqiao New Village is also a resettlement community.

Unit 78, Room 201, is a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment rented by Shi Yanhua.

Police cars were parked downstairs, and there were people watching.

After seeing Shi Yanhua get off the bus, people pointed and whispered among themselves.

Shen Xin went upstairs.

"Xiao Shen."

Wei Yajun was present. He greeted them, sighed, and led them inside.

A young man wearing a vest squatted on the ground.

A thin little girl was sitting on the sofa next to her, her left cheek was red and her nose was bleeding. Her colleague Xiao Tan was squatting down to help her stop the bleeding.

"Fuck your mother, Wang Genping!"

Shi Yanhua knew immediately that her daughter had been beaten, so she grabbed a vase from the doorway and smashed it at the young man on the ground.

There was a crash.

Liu Yuting was terrified and burst into tears.

Shi Yanhua ignored him and kept hitting Wang Genping with her bag, cursing, "You're a piece of trash. You eat and drink my food, and I'm giving you face, aren't I? You even hit my daughter."

With the police present, Wang Genping dared not retaliate.

This guy has dyed blond hair and his arms are covered in tattoos; he's clearly not a good guy.

"enough!"

Shen Xin sternly rebuked him.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yanhua turned around and slapped Liu Yuting across the face.

"All you do is cry, cry, cry! What else can you do besides cry?!"

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Shen Xin quickly stepped forward and pulled Shi Yanhua away.

Liu Yuting was only seven or eight years old, very thin, with a ponytail, wearing a school uniform. After being slapped, she cried even harder.

Shi Yanhua broke free from Shen Xin, tidied her hair, and said, "Alright, officer, we've found the child, and we've asked all the questions you wanted to ask. Can we go now?"

She pointed to the door, signaling Shen Xin and the others to leave.

Shen Xin frowned, especially when he saw Liu Yuting clutching Shi Yanhua's skirt, crying and saying she would never run away again, he felt a pang of sadness.

What can we do?

She's her biological mother!

Even if we bring the person back, it won't make a difference.

Shen Xin had seen many of these kinds of ridiculous things at the police station.

Wei Yajun sighed and secretly tugged at Shen Xin.

Shen Xin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Shi Yanhua, we will come to you again if there are any problems."

Shi Yanhua scoffed, completely unconcerned.

Go downstairs.

Shen Xin thanked Wei Yajun and saw him off.

"Let's go."

Shen Xin gestured for Ding Yuwei to get into the car.

As they drove out of the residential area in silence, Ding Yuwei suddenly said, "Shen Xin, how about we call it a day? I'll take a taxi home myself."

Shen Xin paused for a moment, then nodded.

Shen Xin dropped Ding Yuwei off at the intersection and then drove away.

However, after driving for a short distance, Shen Xin circled back.

Although he couldn't control everything, Shen Xin couldn't just let it go now that he'd run into it.

At least give Wang Genping a warning.

Shen Xin knew exactly what kind of thugs they were.

It is highly likely that Shi Yanhua will return to work.

Once she leaves, Wang Genping will definitely teach Liu Yuting a lesson.

The child did nothing wrong.

Shen Xin felt it was necessary to warn Wang Genping.

You eat at someone else's house and live there, and then you beat their child. You can't be such a bastard!

After driving around in circles until I arrived at Shi Yanhua's building, I looked up and suddenly realized that someone had just arrived at the entrance of the building.

Ding Yuwei!
Shen Xin got out of the car, their eyes met, and they smiled at the same time, as if by unspoken understanding.
